I like to remind myself that everything is meaningless.
Zola Jesus
Image
Everything I do is a reflection of the duality within me. Musically, I really love things that are very synthetic and unnatural. And I also like the organic and human... the intrinsic, I guess.
Zola Jesus
Image
No matter what you do, if there's something you're afraid of, you need to break through it.
Zola Jesus
Image
I feel like I am alone when I am in the presence of those I love. It is so freeing and comfortable, you become one with them.

The word theatrical makes me cringe, because it suggests a performance is staged, put on, rehearsed. And while all this is true for an opera, I believe the act of singing and performing should always be honest, raw, guttural.

The greatest benefit of being a solo performer is that it is seriously frightening, but at the same time very empowering. It's just you and the audience. All the weight is on you to deliver the songs.

My music started as a way to break through weaknesses - like anxiety, which was completely taking over my whole life, where I could barely function.

I guess something people wouldn't expect me to listen to are artists like Alicia Keys. But she is so incredibly talented. She has this huge voice and great work ethic, which I really respect in an artist. She is also very humble and gracious and devoted to her skill.

Zola Jesus
Image
The most important thing for us to do as beings is to be aware of our position in the world on a micro and macro level.
Zola Jesus
Image
I think I'm making music that's pretty universal.
Zola Jesus
Image
I feel like humans are a disease. It's a hard thing to communicate in a pop song. I mean, who wants to hear that?
Zola Jesus
Image
I don't know why people think I'm a Goth - that's a misconception.
Zola Jesus
Image
I know for sure that nothing matters.
Zola Jesus
Image
You are born and then you die, but in between you can do anything you want. It's society that creates rules for us, but you can break out of that.
Zola Jesus
Image
And my music is always such a release of what I feel inside, an impulse.
Zola Jesus
Image
The only reason I would write a break-up song is because my own problem of allowing myself to relate to people.
Zola Jesus
Image
A lot of times I have the song inside of me and I have to fight to get it out. I'm a very visual person, so I can see the song but I can't hear it. But I think that if your music becomes a war for it to happen, in the end there's a certain kind of aggression in the music. And I think that's a lot more interesting.

It sounds kind of stupid, but I've never not wanted to be a musician. It's been inside me since I was little so I don't know what else I would do.
